I think with certain carriers it is, but I think it's possible with verizon.

no it is locked to Verizon. With the exception of the iPhone, which you must order directly from apple unlocked, all CDMA phones are locked to their respective carrier's, the only phones that truely benefit from the unlocking are GSM.

No but it was wiped clean of all data and had everything with it but it wouldn't work with Verizon and every iPhone is unlocked as I'm told but not all will work with different carriers the one I got was for T-Mobile one thing you have to look at even tho it says unlocked

Some carriers will not support an unlocked phone. It all depends on who your carrier. If you have Verizon, you will need to purchase a phone that says it's for Verizon.

Sorry it isn't actually unlocked. I updated the listing. It is a Verizon phone.

the one that i bought through amazon was...not...unlocked. i tried sending the id number to several internet web sites that cater for this problem,,(they can unlock certain verizon wireless locked phones) unfortunately mine was not one of them. i even sent an email to verizon but never received an answer. bit of a bummer.

The phone that I purchased was unlocked. It functions just like any phone you would get from Verizon. We took it to Verizon to have them load our contacts and pictures from the old phone into this one. It works just fine.

Alejandra looks like you bought the phone from another vendor, not from me, also looks like you bought the Iphone 5c for Sprint, Most Sprint phones are locked for Sprint, and can only be unlocked for international use, or to be use in the USA after a lot of hassling with Sprint representatives. If you need an unlocked phone make sure it says GSM Unlocked on the description. Sprint is a CDMA carrier, Verizon is also a CDMA carrier but most of Verizon phones can be also use in a GSM network. Let me know if I can help you find a phone that works for you. Thank you

Sorry but no it's not but my problem was the phone was still locked. So I guess it depends on the phone and service area. I actually just set my HTC back and got an iPhone 5 more versatile to various wireless companies.

All iPhone 5 models from Verizon are open but this information is not being stated by Verizon.I have bought 6 iPhone 5 models from Verizon and they are all open to other networks.

Yes. All iPhone 5's are the same they just may have different carriers servicing them (ie: ATNT, Verizon...)

The unlocked one should specify "unlocked" or "factory unlocked" the locked iphone 5, 5s, 5c are now "factory inlockable" and not that expensive...search Google for unlock sites. Also keep in mind that locked at&ya; iPhones and usable with straight talk carrier...

Yes my was unlocked , during the time of purchase it should say unlock. This model is gsm, so it will take a SIM card from AT&T; or simple mobile or any gsm carrier . The phone is nice for the budget. Thks

This phone I received was unlocked. We did not need a sim card for Verizon network. It is a great phone but unsure if you can activate it in the Dominican Republic. Contact your carrier to be sure.

I would call Verizon to be sure but if it is an unlocked phone, I would think so.
